His quick wit and sass make him iconic throughout the series, and a valuable ally to Fran as she establishes herself as more family than help.

While Fran manages the children, butler Niles (Daniel Davis) runs the Sheffield household. While the mischievous Brighton (Benjamin Salisbury) is convinced he doesn't need a nanny, Fran's down-to-earth and sharp attitude soon see his love for her grow. The children soon begin to blossom under Fran's care - Maggie (Nicholle Tom) changes from an awkward, shy teenager into a confident young woman, and Grace (Madeline Zima) no longer needs daily therapist visits. The Primetime Emmy Award Winning series follows the Queens-bred Fran, as her no-nonsense approach to life and her new gig capture the hearts of Maxwell's three children, and also Maxwell (Charles Shaughnessy) himself. Out on her 'fanny', she tries her hand at being a cosmetic saleswoman, but when she shows up on the doorstep of Maxwell Sheffield's Manhattan home to sell makeup, she finds herself the nanny of his three children. The iconic 90s classic The Nanny introduces us to Fran Fine (Fran Drescher), who goes from working in a bridal shop in Queens, to being both dumped and fired by her boyfriend/employer Danny Imperialli.
